DSL has fatal limitation that makes it a loser. DSL can handle 1Mbps without problem. But when the bandwidth increases in the future, DSL is not as scalable as cables. Don't worry about DSL. Do your research and the more you research the more certain you know DSL will not be a competition to cable. But DSL will have a minority market share. Please note the future of Internet will be streaming data broadcasts that demand bandwidth of 1Mbps and beyond.

>What happens when AOL/ YHOO makes a deal with some othe cable >modem service provider like Time Warner ? Time Warner does not compete with ATHM. A given home in the USA only has one cable line, and whoever owns the other end of that line is who you can get cable internet access from. If that is a partner of ATHM, or Time Warner, or whoever, all depends on where your house is. If AOL makes a deal w/ Time Warner, that only helps those people who live in an area w/ Time Warner cable access.
